Epic WTF

As someone who has managed both a pub and, (de facto) a club, I should be able to answer that. I can't though. I don't think there is. But don't quote me.

The main one is alcohol licensing, keeping it and selling it for consumption on premises. Then you'll need a security license so you can have doorstaff. Used to be the case that you needed licensing to have a cigarette machine on site - but no longer. Think you need one for games machines. Then you'll need a PRS license from the music people to play songs and a PPL if you use the site as a live venue for music.That also covers things like playing visuals on screens which are usually made up of copyrighted images.

There are some things too to do with CCTV.

I think what differentiates not needing a license 'to dance' in a club is that it's not in front of an audience. I.e. I believe theatres and things that show dancing in front of customers that aren't dancing need a license as it's classed as regulated entertainment. Morris Dancing is noticeably exempt.

Interesting. A friend of mine got asked, quite harshly, to stop dancing in a pub by the landlady. She sat down, very upset, just to have someone explain to her that there is such a thing as a dance license for pubs.
